Re: wireless not working mAP Lite - beta03

Same.

NetMetal 5 922UAGS-5HPacT with an R11e-2 card. 5GHz works fine, 2.4GHz does not.
On a Metal 2, the radio comes up and broadcasts its SSID and clients seem to connect but WPA2-PSK2 authentication fails.

Re: RouterOS upgrade issue

I encountered this same boot loop on a Metal 2 radio. Try using only ssh/telnet and don't even attempt to connect with winbox or http and see if you can get the device to stay up. If you can connect via console, see if you have kernel error messages.

Hi @gtj Can you post your config? I have a 450g as router Crs 125 as layer 2 switch with vlan 2-8,99,210,220 using the switch menu But I can't figure out how to set up vlan on new config mode. As far as I can tell, there's no difference. You still use the switch menu to manage VLANs just as before.

Yeah, I think we'll use the OmniTIKs with the PoE out option if we have to go this route.

PoE Injector directionality
